Bastien

What they say

Coming in: "Morning! Nothing for you today except my appetite."

Pleased: "First class! Priority! No stamp required!"

So-so: "Second class, but it got there."

Disappointed: "Hmm. Lost in the post, that one."

How they order

Bastien has 4 written orders of their own. A few of them:

"The plain one. Butter. Folded like... you know, an envelope? No! Not an envelope. The pointy one. A triangle. Sorry, occupational hazard."

— that is La Toute Simple

"Strawberries with their jam, in a triangle, like the stamp on the airmail ones."

— that is La Fraisette

"Raspberries and lemon curd, rolled like a parcel tube. Golden."

In plain words: Raspberries and lemon curd. Rolled. Golden.

— that is La Framboisine

After the first ten days they also make up orders in their own voice. Not sure? Ask "Pardon?" or "What do you mean?": see orders.

Crêpes they love

Their face is on those pages of the notebook.

Presents from the pedlar

From Yann the pedlar's cart: a pair of thick socks and a pocket torch.
